All, I need to draw a stupidly simple part, but requires a 3D path. I need to
draw a metal rod, with 4 bends; 2 of which are at 90° to the other two.. I
have no starting geometry, so I can't seem to use the 3D line, or 3D points..
I can't draw my first two segments, then change / create to a new work
plane... All help & tutorials seem to point towards starting geometry, and
basing work planes off assemblies. I have none of these. I just need to draw a
path of 7 lines; 3 of which are 90° to the remaining 4.. Think of a part of a
shopping cart; how would you draw one of the wires / tubes used to make the
frame or cage. As soon as you need to change to a perpendicular bend (Z axis)
is what's getting me.. Does it have to be an assembly of three 2D
sweeps?
